Hughes second innings on top of the first should see him on that plane

He should get a call up to the ODI side surely...

 

[hineyrulz]

Hughes on form should nearly the first batsman picked to SA......

 

[Y2Eel]

Hughes on form should nearly the first batsman picked to SA......

He should be the only batsmen called up atm the others are all crap...

 

[eddiesmith]

So what will NSW declare at? Will the game a few years ago scare them off? Or will they declare as soon as Hughes gets 100? Or even overnight?

 

[aussies1st]

Hughes 100 then declare.

 

[hineyrulz]

I would give them 4 overs tomorrow, leaving them 90 overs to bowl them out.

 

[IanG]

Hughes 100 then declare.

Yeah more than likely because they're already leading by over 350. Plus a century in both innings will look good for Phillip Hughes's call up aspirations.

Hopefully
Unfortunately, seems like Ponting does not want Hughes in the side as he has already hinted he would prefer experienced players in the squad
Will the selectors listen to Ponting?
NO
They will pick Hughes in the squad (they better)
But I don't expect Hughes to be picked in the test line-up due to Ponting's biases

 

[eddiesmith]

I am expecting them to take 2 openers to South Africa and make the call at the last minute

Hughes is guaranteed to be 1 of them

 

[IanG]

As far as pitch invaders go the only ones we got today was kids retriving their balls.

 

[aussies1st]

I just want Hughes to get another FC 100.

 

[IanG]

I just want Hughes to get another FC 100.

Well he's 82 not out at Stumps so he has a good chance of getting it

 

[Twizzle]

and Punter prefers Jaques over Hughes

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I just want Hughes to get another FC 100.

declared with hughes on 82

chasing 351 and they're 0/25 after 5.3

 

[Red Bear]

1/68, Thornley gets Lockyear

 

[Twizzle]

Lockyear was their best chance

 

[Red Bear]

3/95 at lunch
carn the blues

 

[Red Bear]

4/128

Bollinger bowls Marsh for 15

Come on you Blues!
